So I could be 20,000 and get $10 back on my investment if they don't make the World Series? I guess punting the 20k in a CD would make more. Sure things don't pay well. 

Yeah, you don't want $20k sitting on the sidelines for seven months not working just to get that minuscule return.

2000 to 1? So you're saying there's a chance!

Yes, 0.05% chance.

Scout’s takes were interesting, especially about Davis.

Sure, I think it's wild that the public is heavy on the under at 59.5 that they have to move the line downward.  

The public sees a 47 win team that did nothing outwardly to get better.

A high school football team has a better chance at beating Alabama than the Orioles do at winning the World Series.  

In 2015-16 Leicester City won the Premier League after having been 5000:1 underdogs to start the season.  

The Orioles certainly have a better shot than your high school team against Alabama. The best high school team would be hundreds of spots below Alabama in a world-wide football team ranking.

The scout's takes were very interesting and a worthwhile read.  It's a pity whoever wrote the headline doesn't own a dictionary.  The Orioles are hapless now?  Luck had nothing to do with the O's current situation.

Plus they won’t get to play Alabama.....

Yeah, that was a really interesting piece. I loved how the scout told it like it was. That's what's great about talking to them. They don't sugar coat it.

You really have never seen a throwaway comment that you didn't want to analyze, have you?

My only question is whether the Alabama football team could beat the 2019 Orioles at baseball. I bet they'd have better pitching.

All we need is to transfer N'Golo Kanté, Riyad Mahrez, and Jamie Vardy to the Orioles and we will be golden.

I would take the O's. To put those odds in perspective, Vegas is offering about 40x less return than a 6 month CD, which is about the safest investment on the planet. The O's have to have a better chance than the US banking system collapsing 40 times in the next 6 months!
